hi i am looking for a helmet, i got my first trials bike yesterday :D

looking for a helmet though so i know im safe

i havebeen looking at the azonic surround sound, but reviews dont look good, also been looking at sixsixone dirt lid, but i am confused,it says one size fits all? sounds dodgy to me, i have quite a large head and loads of people have different head sizes so how does one fit all? does the helmet stretch somehow? :lol:

    Get yourself down the bike shop and try some on.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    what he said.
    Helmets don;t just come in different sizes, each manufacturer also has a slightly different shape. Best bet is to try a few on and go with whatever fits best.

    If the OP has your head on his shoulders then he's good to go. 8)

    I must have a very normal shaped head because I just measure my head check the size chrart and buy the size that matches and they have always fitted :roll:

    As for the 661 dirt helmet it will probably have a set of spacing pads that you fit the helmet to your head (large shell with lots of extra foam), should probably be okay if you haven't got a massive or tiny head. Personaly I rate the bell faction helmet for a low cost rugged skate/P pot and the sizing is pretty accurate and comes with fine tune fit pads.

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:
